Meanwhile, Hollywood was hit hard with the news of the young actor's passing.

While Monteith's "Glee" co-star and real life girlfriend, Lea Michele, released a statement through her rep saying "We ask that everyone kindly respect Lea’s privacy during this devastating time,” tons of celebrities took to Twitter to express their heartfelt condolences.
